Sharpening Life's Axe: Embracing Rest, Reflection, and GrowthHey, Happy Asses! Its Karen! In Today's Episode:
  • Sharpening Our Edge: I'm sharing a thought-provoking story about a young, energetic lumberjack and his older, wiser counterpart. It's a tale that beautifully illustrates why, sometimes, taking a moment to 'sharpen our edge' can lead to more effective results than constant effort.
  • Applying Lessons to Life: I delve into how the lumberjack story reflects our approach to life and goals. With the new year in full swing, it's a perfect time to consider the importance of rest, reflection, and strategic planning in our pursuit of success.
  • Affirmation of the Day: Here's our special affirmation, centered and italicized for emphasis, inviting you to embrace moments of stillness, let go of what you can't control, and invest time in growing and refining your skills.
Key Quotes:
  • "I realized that chopping consistently is possible because my axe was being sharpened."
  • "As the saying goes, iron sharpens iron."
Deep Dive:
  • I explore the significance of 'sharpening our resources' and discuss how our relationships can contribute to mutual growth and support.
  • I share my thoughts on focusing on what we can control and gracefully letting go of what we can't.
Final Thoughts:
  • Reflecting on a powerful message from Priscilla Shire about the importance of prayer and introspection.
  • "I've learned to take the fight into the prayer room instead of the living room."
